Chinatown Video: May 1998 releases
MR VAMPIRE II Rated MA. 89
mins. $35.00.
Stars Yuen Biao and Lam Ching Ying (the man with the
hardest-working eyebrows in motion pictures). If it's anything like the first one, this'll
be an absolute hoot. I'm expecting legions of hopping vampires and more paper-toting
prayer fu than you can shake an incense stick at.
ICEMAN COMETH Rated MA. 110
mins. $29.95.
Stars Yuen Biao and Maggie Cheung. Looks like it's
Yuen Biao month at Chinatown Vid, which is okay by me. A splendid little modern fantasy
about an ancient warrior who chases his ancient foe to modern day HK, only to end up doing
Maggie's housework (hey, I would too). Lots of hee-larious "ain't modern stuff
confusing" gags, plus the fu you'd expect from two guys who've been hating each other
for 1,000 years.
EROTIC GHOST STORY III Rated R. 90 mins. $50.00.
Stars Sing Fu On and Pauline Chan. If it's anything
like the first one, this'll be an absolute lemon. But you're not watching it for the plot,
right? Sigh.
